The problem is with getting Shadow Weaving and Darkness. Basically means I need 20 points in other shadow skills. 20 points plus 5 in each of those gives 30 points used, 10 in disciple and 5 in improved renew, 5 in spiritual healing...thats 50 points. You get 51 total talents to use by lvl 60 (or so the calculator says) so I could put 1 point into subtlety. In other words, what it really comes down to is that in order to get more than 1 point in subtlety I would have to take points out of Darkness, improved power word: shield, or improved power word: fortitude since those are all the skills at the ends of the various trees. Anything below those skills has to stay so that there are enough skills in the tree to move down it to the other skills. So it gets rather rough trying to include subtlety. Darkness is the only one that would see to be able to be gotten rid of. Thats really a question of damage vs healiong threat. Darkness increases shadow damage, subtlety reduces healing threat. I basically can get at most 6 poitns to split between them.
